Naked Bajaj Pulsar 220 – first ride review

Be easy on the throttle when riding over a non-tarmac surface or wet road if the naked 220 that you are on, is equipped with the Eurogrip tyres. They aren’t really good enough for the kind of performance the motorcycle offers. The faired Pulsar 220 rides on softer compound MRF Nylogrip tyres which stick to the road surfaces really well. Owing to the workers strike at the MRF plant production of tyres had completely stopped. As a result, Bajaj had to resort to an ad hoc measure to ensure the 220s rode on rubber.

The nocturnal capability of the naked 220 is not in the league of the 220 F. Nonetheless, the illumination provided by the lamp is at par with the rest of the bikes. At an on-road price (Pune) of Rs.73,000 the new 220 is roughly six grand less than the 220 F.  That definitely makes the 220S the most potent performance tool in the country at a bargain. So for those who are looking for a fast machine with limited budget, there is no looking beyond the 220S.
